Armor is protective equipment worn by Guardians to deflect damage and prevent injury. In gameplay, armor is divided between multiple slots that correspond to a different body part and can have perks and attributes that provide further benefits during combat.[1]

See the Armor category for a list of all individual pieces of armor.[2]

Each piece of armor fits in a particular slot on a Guardian. Only one piece of armor can be equipped in each slot at any time, while nine more pieces of armor can be stored in inventory for each armor slot.[3] Only one exotic armor piece can be equipped at a time.

There are six different armor slots:

  • Helmet: Armor worn on a Guardian's head.
  • Gauntlets: Armor worn on a Guardian's arms.
  • Chest Armor: Armor worn on a Guardian's chest.
  • Leg Armor: Armor worn on a Guardian's legs.
  • Class Item: Depending on a Guardian's class, this could be a bond (Warlock), mark (Titan), or cloak (Hunter). All look different, but function the same.
  • Ghost Shell: The shell worn by a Guardian's Ghost.
  • Artifact: Not visible on a Guardian, but grants additional boosts to attributes and unique perks. This slot is locked until level 40.
